Deeral, Ross Road

The Deeral boat ramp on Ross Road is a two-lane concrete facility on the south bank of the Mulgrave River, managed by Cairns Regional Council. It is reached by turning off the Bruce Highway at Deeral and travelling approximately one kilometre down Ross Road.

Locally known as Deeral Landing, it sits where the river becomes brackish and provides access to the Mulgrave and Russell River estuary, Russell Heads, and beyond to the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef.

The ramp is a popular launch point for estuary fishing, with barramundi, catfish, sooty grunter, and spangled perch among the species caught in the area.

Public toilets and boat wash-down water are available on site, and parking for cars and trailers is generally adequate, though it can fill during busy periods. The area may be affected by very high tides or flood events.
